It truly takes a village to pull off a celebration of this calibre. Operation Royal Wedding unveils the whirlwind of preparations made to bring this momentous occasion to life with exclusive, unprecedented access to some of the key players involved in the event.

Revealing the behind the scenes story of a nation pulling together to create a world class event and celebrating the unsung heroes who make it all happen, FOX+ and Nat Geo provides the rare access to some of the organisers who are helping bring everything together for the big day:

• Britain’s Pageantmaster Dominic Reid OBE: Event organiser extraordinaire, Dominic Reid is the ‘go-to’ man when it comes to staging the biggest and best ceremonial and Royal events in the UK, including the Queen’s Golden Jubilee and The Lord Mayor’s Show. Reid has a close working relationship with Prince Harry through his role as Chief Executive of the Invictus Foundation.
  
• Organiser of the Royal Windsor Horse Show Simon-Brooks Ward and Site Manager Colin Rayner: The highly experienced Brooks-Ward and Rayner coordinate the immense team that will have just 36 hours to transform Windsor Home Park from a horse show to a global event expected to attract more than 100,000 royal well wishers.
• Osborne House: Tradition dictates that a sprig of myrtle from the garden of Queen Victoria’s holiday home on the Isle of Wight is used in royal bridal bouquets. This dates back to the Victorian era. The flower itself symbolises love and unity.
• The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby: As the head of the Church of England, the Archbishop will officiate the service at St. George’s Chapel, Windsor.

So, be sure to get your calendar and alarms set for these royal programmes.

I'm off to get my popcorns and couch comfy. 

Have a great weekend my Huneybees!!

Ask Nat Geo Explorers Questions In Live Google+ Hangout

Hi Huneybees,

Are you Nat Geo fans? Always have the questions to ask the National Geographic Explorers?

Here's your chance to ask any question to National Geographic Explorers all around the world: how was it like to discover the remains of the Titanic; did it take forever to make your first solo dive to the ocean's deepest point; and how many animals have you had a hand in rescuing your entire life?

Robert Ballard, Jane Goodall and James Cameron — along with National Geographic Explorers in the field on every continent — will take questions from the public in a live Google+ Hangout from 2 am to 3:30am (SG time) this Monday, 14 January, marking the 125th anniversary of the National Geographic Society. People around the world are invited to submit questions for the explorers or to videotape themselves asking a question for use in the Hangout.

Exploration is the National Geographic Society’s passion and the focus of the January issue of National Geographic magazine. The Hangout will be a conversation about the new age of exploration. The event will be the first in a series of monthly National Geographic-Google+ Hangouts with explorers leading innovative field research across the globe.

You can submit questions by:

• Uploading a video question to YouTube with #NatGeo125
• Posting a question on Google+ or Twitter with #NatGeo125
• Commenting on the National Geographic News Watch blog
• Leaving a comment on their Facebook wall

The Hangout can be viewed on the National Geographic Google+ page or on http://www.youtube.com/NatGeo.

Since its first expedition in 1890 to map the Mount St. Elias region in Alaska, National Geographic has led the way in exploration of the planet — and in harnessing new technologies to bring the stories of exploration to its readers and viewers.

Robert Ballard is a National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence who is most famous for his discovery of the RMS Titanic in 1985. Ballard has pioneered the use of robotics to explore ancient shipwrecks and natural wonders of the sea.

Jane Goodall received her first grant from the National Geographic Society in 1961 and went on to lead a 50-year field study of wild chimpanzees. Her research revealed that, like humans, chimps make tools to procure food and they engage in violence against each other.

James Cameron is a filmmaker and National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence. His 35,756-foot solo dive, known as DEEPSEA CHALLENGE, to the ocean’s deepest point in the South Pacific’s Mariana Trench last year set a record and gathered scientific information.

The “new age of exploration” will be celebrated Society-wide throughout 2013, including
the National Geographic Channels, website, books, magazines, video and live events. The
yearlong initiative has been made possible through a 125th anniversary partnership with Rolex.

Leading brand of the Swiss watch industry, Rolex has accompanied many of humanity’s
greatest feats as men and women such as James Cameron have broken long-standing records,
defied the elements and explored the globe’s most forbidding frontiers.
